Our design proposal will create architectural discourse by means of its core design criteria and methodologies of fabrication. It will be an entity that people will look up to before they enter the metropolitan area of Melbourne passing through the region of Wyndham, which is emerging. We understand that requirement for Wyndham and that is why we implemented in our core design values the “Growth” factor. We achieved successfully and with such finesse, a gradual transformation of simple geometries producing this intended emergence.

The final design is an array of thin and delicate red transparent strips that are transforming on the landscape as drivers are passing by. The strips are meant to form a surface that envelops their needle-like structures and give the impression of floating in the air. Moreover, as stated in our criteria, the materiality of the design for the strips that are light and gentle will interact with the environment by undulating in the windy Wyndham region and the invisibility of the structures will be achieved by the needle-like steel structures.
